There is no chance for Fido to get bored when games like these are at his fingertips, I mean paws. The company called Fetch Dog helps challenge pets by using this brainy dog board game. Is your pup smart enough to dislodge the removable bones and slide the top covers to access the hidden treat? If you want to increase the difficulty, various segments can be locked in position with the accompanying bone pegs provided. Fetch Dog offers a variety of fun games for all dog ages and sizes. This unique dog game retails online for $59.75, but other similar games are also available starting at the lower price of $46.75. FetchDog began as the dream of a bunch of dog-crazy friends who wanted to create a great place online to shop for dogs or to connect with dog experts and other dog lovers.
